How You Doin'

Hey my name is Ekow, how you doin
I remember back when no one knew him
Now they 'bout to see me on the TV spitting raps and moving fluent
Ain't even gotta ask man who this dude, man I tell em
Hey my name is Ekow, how you doin
I remember back when no one knew him
Now they 'bout to see me on the TV spitting raps and moving fluent
Ain't even gotta ask man who this dude

Proving, I'm thinking booming, back in the lab again
Now cruising was used to moving, but now I'm traveling
He was sowing, now he reaping about that road
Funny now how his young brain made that heat right out that cold
Was feeling away, I needed a place, my motive was down
Don't end in a day in, but in death's place something gon' grow in the ground
Now I see that dreams grew
Long task, had to reboot
Conversations helped me regroup
Man I tell em now and they see too
I'll admit boy you reinvented
Must've found something in those words
Hate the future but we need the present
Kids will look up while the cynics turn
Life is fickle things gon' burn and shrink and crumble
So it ain't gon matter what they speak what person thinks you humble
People say they love you they don't mean it like they used to
Still they come and huddle when they see your dreams is lucid
I remember walking in the center with my water bottle and a string pack

Now I'm running and they tryna follow got the city moving and the team back, like

Hey my name is Ekow, how you doin
I remember back when no one knew him
Now they 'bout to see me on the TV spitting raps and moving fluent
Ain't even gotta ask man who this dude, man I tell em
Hey my name is Ekow, how you doin
I remember back when no one knew him

Now they 'bout to see me on the TV spitting raps and moving fluent
Ain't even gotta ask man who this dude

Man I really got a knack for the raps and the truth
Bout'ta put it on the map, and it's back to the booth
Man this passion is all what I happen do
Practice it too for the raps and the views
What a black finna do in this odd position
I ain't really messin with the opposition
But I'll talk and listen
Jump while I'm riding on the beat, and I'll peak 'til the clock is ticking
Lemme slow that down
See the whole team getting trophies
Waiting 'til I get that gold piece
And my new piece meet my old piece
"Hold up, calm down, down"
I'm like "wait, wait, wait
Lemme clear it up in just another minute that we'll take, take, take"
Take it back to when I knew better
Brain all wrapped in a tube sweater
Now I rap with a new letter
But would saying ok to the stuff most say make it happen two letters?
Nah my poop better
Imma go and get that new cheddar
Til they looking at the team saying who let us
"Where is you headed?"
"I don't know but I'm crafting the wheel while I'm riding with two pedals"
Yeah I'll pull up with the change
Y'all been fooling with the same
I be moving hear that shooting
Let these bullets entertain
Cool the chamber with these sounds

Just a young kid chilling, eighteen
Got his new style but the same dream
With the crew 'til we hit the mainstream, like

Hey my name is Ekow, how you doin
I remember back when no one knew him
Now they bout to see me on the TV spitting raps and moving fluent
Ain't even gotta ask man who this dude, man I tell em
Hey my name is Ekow, how you doin
